The days of companies focusing solely on short-term shareholder profits are behind us. Companies are under incredible pressure to play an active role in solving our most urgent challenges, such as climate change and inequality, and help build a thriving world. Why is this happening, and how are companies responding? Renowned strategist Andrew Winston helps companies understand this new world. Based on his book Net Positive, Andrew’s inspiring talk will explore…
● The existential challenges and massive trends which are reshaping how we live, work, eat, travel, and much more.
● How and why key stakeholders – such as investors, customers, and employees – are applying immense pressure on business
● How to build companies that thrive by solving the world’s problems, not creating them
● What leadership looks like using concrete examples of companies around the world profiting from sustainability
